    Wedding days can be memorable for so many reasons.  For many wedding guests it can be the scenery, the venue itself, the season, the memories and little moments, or the great times shared.  For Austin & Vanessa’s wedding day at The Parker Mill, we can safely say it was all of the above!  As wedding photographers in the Asheville area, we are given the amazing privilege of getting to constantly absorb all of those amazing things that can make up a wedding day!  Often times for us, our favorite part of a day can be a breathtaking sunset session with the bride and groom, or an emotional first look, and sometimes just the overall vibe of the day.  Vanessa and Austin’s wedding truly hit on all of these notes!


Like many of our wedding couples, we don’t always get a chance to connect in person beforehand due to busy schedules or the fact that the majority of our couples are from out of town (and oftentimes out of state).  This was one of those special days where it didn’t even matter.  I vividly remember walking into the groom’s suite and immediately feeling like one of the guys.  Jenny had a similar experience with Vanessa and her bridal party but since I write these, I get to share my perspective of the day (sorry babe).  Austin had a great group of dudes that made up his groom’s party and I’m not exaggerating when I say the good times and laughs were virtually non-stop!  Throughout the day, we witnessed Austin and Vanessa genuinely enjoying the company of their closest loved ones.  No drama, no stress, nothing obligatory, just perfect fall weather, and of course one awesome couple!  It was like this with everyone.  It was obviously important to them that their families and friends had just as good of time as they did and never was that more apparent than on the dance floor!  Sometimes a wedding day can wear you down a little bit between the early wake up calls for hair & make up, and the mental energy to keep a smile on your face for pictures, but when the dance floor opened, this crew ramped it up to another level.  If I’m being honest, Vanessa and Austin’s cover photo for the blog pretty much sums up in one image why we love weddings!  Big congrats to these two and their families, and as always, we hope you enjoy following along!
